A Case of Bilateral Nephroblastoma(Wilms Tumor) / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Bilateral nephroblastoma is a relatively uncommon disease. We experienced a case of bilateral nephroblastoma in 2 year old male child. Herein a case of bilateral nephroblastoma is presented with brief review of literature.

A Case of Renocolic Fistula and Intrarenal Aneurysm by Gunshot Wound / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Renal injury inflicted by high-velocity missiles is serious because of the wide spread blast injury to tissue. Blast effect may lead to a secondary tissue necrosis with hemorrhage, fistula and infection. Recently we experienced one case of bilateral injury by gunshot complicated by renocolic fistula and intrarenal aneurysm. Management of delayed sequale of renal injury was presentedand discussed.

2 Cases of Unilateral Renal Agenesis / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Renal agenesis is a relatively rare congenital anomaly. The frequent difficulty in establishing a definite diagnosis of renal agenesis is emphasized. Recently we experienced 2 cases of renal agenesis in 24-year-old male patients, so we report these 2 cases of renal agenesis with review of literatures.

A Case of Giant Hydronephrosis / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A giant hydronephrosis caused by ureteropelvic junction stricture in a 16-month-old male infant was presented. After the size and volume of giant hydronephrosis were estimated by retrograde pyelography, nephrectomy was performed. We report this case with review of literatures.

A Case of Hypospadias with Enlargement of the Prostatic Utricle / 대한비뇨기과학회지

The association of hypospadias and cryptorchism with an enlarged prostatic utricle has been recognized for many years. But in patients of hypospadias, routine endoscopy or retrograde urethrography is so rarely performed that enlarged prostatic utricle can`t be found easily. Recently we experienced one case of hypospadias associated with enlargement of the prostatic utricle in 25 year old man. Enlargement of prostatic utricle was removed surgically and the hypospadias was repaired.

Change of Renal Parenchyme after Experimental Partial Nephrectomy in Dogs / 대한비뇨기과학회지

We have performed experimental bilateral partial nephrectomy in 7 mongrel dogs. The technique of procedure was as follows. Renal capsule in lower renal pole was stripped and then 2-O chromic catgut suture was placed in circumferential manner around the lower pole of the kidney and guillotine amputation(Williams et al., 1967) was performed. Mattress suture, 4-5 stitches, was done on the renal parenchyme 0.2-0.3cm above edge of the guillotine ampution of the lower pole of the kidney. The gross finding of the kidney and possible complications have been observed for 3 weeks after bilateral partial nephrectomy. For microscopic observation, the tissues from the lower pole of the kidney (1x1cm) were fixed in 10% neutral formalin solution. Blood urea nitrogen level was examined on the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21th days after bilateral partial nephrectomy. 1. The technique was relatively easy, bleeding during operation was scanty and postoperative hemorrhage was not found. 2. Major gross finding of kidney for 3 weeks after the operation was necrosis. 9 out of 14 kidneys were normal but necrosis had occurred in 5 cases. 2cases were locali2ed and minimal but S cases showed wide necrosis in the lower portion of the kidney. Urinary fistula and hemorrhage were not found. 3. Microscopic changes 3 weeks after the operation, showed necrosis, calcification. hemorrhage and fibrosis in the lower portion of the kidney. 4. BUN level was elevated maximally in 3rd or 7th day after the operation but it was decreased end had returned to nearly normal range it 3 weeks after the operation. One case showed finding of uremia by BUN elevation but this had recovered 3 weeks after operation.

Urologic Complications of Renal Transplantation / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A clinical observation was made on 74 cases of the renal transplantation in the Department of Urology, Catholic Medical College from March 1969 to February 1980. The following results were obtained. 1. Of 74 cases of the recipient 67 cases were male and 7 cases female, 3 decade was most common among them 2. The ureteroneocystostomy was performed as the method of the modified Politano-Leedbetter in 66 cases and extravesical Macliinnon in 8 cases. Our incidence of urological complications in the 74 renal transplants was 13.5% (10 cases). 3. The details of the complications were as follows: 1 was bladder leakage, 3 ureteral necrosis, 3 ureteral obstruction. 1 disruption of ureterovesical junction, 1 bleeding from ureterovesical junction and 1 was urine leakage from ureter. 4. Reconstruction of the bladder in the cases of bladder leakage was failed. Among the 9 ureteral complications, we acquired successful secondary 6 ureteroureterostomy and 3 ureteroneocystomy.

Clinical Observation on the Transrectal Needle Biopsy / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A clinical observation was made on 38 patients with the suspicion of prostatic cancer in the department of urology, St. Mary's Hospital during the period from January, 1969 to December, 1978. The results are as follows. 1. The most prevalent age was from 60 to 69 (44.7%) 2. Among 38 cases of the transrectal needle biopsy, the adequate tissues for the histologic diagnosis were obtained in 34 cases. 3. Of 34 cases whose tissue were obtained adequately by the needle biopsy, 22 cases were diagnosed the malignancy of prostate. 4. Among 38 cases of the transrectal needle biopsy, the fever were developed in 4 cases and the rectal bleeding in one case.

Statistical Observation on In-patients in the Past 2 Years / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A statistical observation was made on 448 in-patients in the Department of Urology Catholic Medical College, during the period from the January 1, 1976 to December 31, 1977.
